will be a Safe Haven for Sanders supporters.

I would not expect you to lavish fawning praise to post in here, but I would also not expect you to be a shit disturber, post fawning praise about another candidate, or generally go against the TOS for the group.

I don't go into the BOG or HRC groups. Why? Because of these same ideas. I will criticize both of them in the GD or LBN forums, but as I am not a supporter of either, why post there?

Of course, I am not a host, so this is my opinion only. I like a vibrant discussion and even the occasional heated debate. And it is also nice having some places to communicate where I am with those of like mind, politic, and feeling.
